Accessibility and mainstreamed adjustments
In 2013, the University ‘mainstreamed’ a number of learning adjustments, which means that all courses are required to meet certain baselines for all students. These include things like wearing a microphone for lectures and sharing a course outline and reading list at least four weeks before the start of teaching. Please take time to read through all of these mainstreamed adjustments and make sure that your courses and materials meet the requirements.

We also recommend that you find out more about inclusive design and how to create accessible materials. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
